lla. Describe your progress meeting each major activity/milestone approved In the Baseline Report for this project; any challenges or obstacles encountered and mitigation

strategies you have employed; planned major activities for the next quarter; and any additional project milestones or Information.

Milestone activities: Existing state employees continue to work on SLIGP, the broadband enterprise architect, SWIC and budget administrator.

We participate in the State of Wyoming's- PSCC (Public Safety Communications Commission) meetings and give FirstNet updates. We had two individuals attend the Public Safety

Communications Research (PSCR) program meeting in Westminster, CO, representing (SPOC) State of Wyoming ETS-technology-broadband and homeland security.

We have created a FirstNet for Wyoming, Google +community, as a single point of information reference for our statewide emergency responders. This is intended for outreach and education, starting with our public safety work group of 25 individuals, but open to any emergency responder.

_l'!rticipate in the Western States collaboration and meetings because of similar rural issues, and meet with them biweekly.

We are relying on State of Wyoming public safety work group and our existing user information from our land mobile radio (LMR) system to determine potential National Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) users. The SWIC is compiling information on current LMR users.

Governance structure has been vetted and approved by the State CIO. FirstNet Consultation state checklist was completed, sent in and awaiting date for site visit schedule.

11b. If the project team anticipates requesting any changes to the approved Baseline Report In the next quarter, describe those below. Note that any substantive changes to the

Baseline Report must be approved by the Department of Commerce before implementation.

We anticipated contractual staff to be hired, but still TBD. The State of Wyoming will work with dedicated staff resources before hiring contractual staff.

llc. Provide any other information that would be useful to NTIA as it assesses this project's progress.

The State of Wyoming now has access to CASM and working with OEC on how to best utilize this tool. Along with the CASM tool, the state is having Google mapping training. The

Google mapping engine looks to be a great tool for the Public Safety Broadband Work Group. Outreach is also being accomplished, without having to spend funds from the SLIGP

grant. It is being mentioned and discussed in statewide public safety association meetings.

11d. Describe any success stories or best practices you have identified. Please be as specific as possible.

The SPOC and SWIC have a very strong working relationship and both bring important networking/communication skills to the project. While Wyoming's small population and large

geographic areas will cause challenges in future coverage areas, it is currently an asset for outreach to stakeholders statewide. These two positions continue to leverage

relationships, are both champions for this cause and are using this ability to reach out quickly to state/city/county contacts.

We continue outreach to the State of Wyoming's public safety working group members, to encourage attendance and participation.

We continue to provide information about SLIGP at these meetings and want members to be engaged with the grant program.

We have had meetings with our state financial team so SLIGP team members are updated with the SLIGP budget.

12. Personnel

12a. If the project Is not fully staffed, describe how any lack of staffing may Impact the project's time line and when the project will be fully staffed.

The project is not fully staffed, but we anticipate hiring staff when state resources are exhausted, we may have to adjust our projected Baseline/Expenditure Plan at that point.
